Anyways, I do have my issues with the current map.I put it into points:
1.) It's somewhat featureless which in turn makes it crowded. If there are more features then people find it easier to make smaller nations.
2.) Landmarks are too big. Mountains, forests and everything are too large on the map. Again contributing to make it feel small.
3.) It doesn't show the New World. Since colonialism is going to be a major thing that should get relevant very soon. Heck, some countries may have a headstart in that for all I know. Their territories must involve some colonial zone with their colors.

Hey there man. I do get where you're coming from on most of these (even although it does pain me to see my map smacked aside and other random maps recommended in it's place, i worked really hard on it!).
To answer some of your worries:
Yeah i do agree with you the sense of scale is rather odd, and i recognize this is due to my drawing style. It's rather hard to add more features without making the map look like a mess of features. In short adding more features would make it feel a rather bit too crowded.
I understand it is not perfect but i don't feel a true need for perfection. But i see some people might want to disagree with me on this.

I can though alleviate your worries about the map lacking the new world. I do intend on finishing a complete world map at some point. We just focused on Albion as it is more important that the rest of the world game wise. So when the full world map is finished things may look a bit less 'oversized' as what you are currently looking at is but a section of the world map.

If you do have any advice about how you think the map may be altered i will be glad to hear you out. But don't expect too much from me as people have already started making claims and things are almost set in stone.
